Yesterday we celebrated the fact that after months of waiting, we are finally the publisher of freedomtravel.se. Isn't that worth raising a glass to on a Happy Friday? Otherwise, we've been working and working, partying and applying for another important document. What has been the best part of your week?

ShareWhat is a responsible publisher?
A responsible publisher is a responsible person under the Freedom of the Press Act or the Fundamental Law on Freedom of Expression. For certain media (newspapers, radio and TV) must there is a responsible publisher, while for other media (websites and publications published less than four times a year) it is voluntary.
Why become a responsible publisher?
By becoming a responsible publisher, you benefit from constitutional protection, which means, among other things, that the publisher is responsible for everything that is published (that's why we have to approve comments), but also that communicators have the right to remain anonymous and that the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and its rules on personal data processing do not apply, if it would interfere with rights under the Fundamental Law on Freedom of Expression.
As a blogger, you don't have to be a responsible publisher at all, but since we're serious about our website, it's good for us. To become a responsible publisher, we had to send in a lot of paperwork, pay a sum of money and wait six months. Given this effort, we want to celebrate that it's done!
Parties, jobs and visas
What about the rest of the week? On Friday we celebrated my (Helena's) brother's 50th birthday. Very nice! We didn't actually take any photos, and I don't know if it was because we forgot, or because we simply relaxed...
The rest of the week has been mostly work. I have a deadline (or dead line as my boss says) on two reports, and Peter is working hard here at home with invoicing, bookkeeping and cleaning up some old blog posts that need refreshing. In addition, we have had time to apply for a visa for our trip to Sweden. Sri Lanka this winter. We are really looking forward to this!

Congratulations on the position of editor-in-chief. Must feel safe as you work so intensively with both blog and newspaper articles.
By the way, I saw 3 articles from you in a motorhome magazine this week.

Helena says:
Thank you very much! And yes haha, there were many articles in that magazine! Unfortunately, we haven't received it ourselves yet. (Of course, I could have asked the magazine for a copy, but we have forgotten and it is not available in stores until next week).

Congratulations on "accountability"?
In the old days in the paper industry, three copies of the magazine you were published in were included. But that was in the past?
02 November 2018 - 9:19
Helena says:
It is very possible that we could have gotten some copies if we asked. But we have simply forgotten ... 😉 .

Britt-Marie Lundgren says:
We definitely think you should raise both one and two glasses to celebrate.
This has been a really short working week for me, three days, but all the more intense. The best thing this week must be that we switched to a completely new lab computer system and it is starting to work!!!
Today, two girls from Gothenburg are coming by train to finish the autumn holidays at grandma's house. It's really Happy Friday!

Helena says:
It sounds fun and good with a new system that works! 🙂 And how nice with visits! Nice weekend!

Emma, sun like sun? says:
Congratulations on that! Worth celebrating a little and as you work with your website, it is not exactly just a small everyday blog where you throw together a post in fifteen minutes.
And it's great that you relaxed (we'll say it was, OK!?) and had a nice party where you didn't feel like you had to report everything. If you feel that you still need to, there are probably a bunch of other people who have photographed where you can borrow photos. Photos are rarely in short supply nowadays ...

Helena says:
Thank you Emma! And I also think so, that sometimes it is good to just relax a bit, without planning for the blog 😉 Have a nice weekend!

Mr Steve says:
Congratulations! Absolutely worth celebrating that you are now the responsible publisher of Sweden's best travel blog.
Hope you fix the dead lines.
And, of course, Peter's knee has improved.
It's quite liberating to sometimes give up photography. The memories live on anyway.
The best part of the week here at Getingstorp is the visit from little Liv.
02 November 2018 - 11:52
Helena says:
But thank you Steve, what nice words! It sounds cosy to have had Liv visiting! 🙂 Wishing you a nice weekend!

Matts Torebring says:
Well done. I have had the same attitude as you all along. I myself have been the editor-in-chief for about a year and a half already.

Helena says:
Yes you were quick on this Matts! Well done!

Congratulations! Glad you are doing so well!
I have a hard time finding something very best from the week, but if I have to choose it will probably be the wine tasting yesterday. We got to try 13 varieties! Incredibly inspiring! I did not know that Portuguese wines were so good.

Congratulations to you for finally getting it done!
